Topic: Which one is fun, watching with bet or without a bet? - page 24. (Read 3208 times)

Gambling is fun to watch but when one bets and wins it is even more fun because his financial status changes. And watching gambling is only seen to change the financial status of others so in this case the enjoyment of watching the games is not much. So it is natural that betting on gambling would be more fun. It will not create any excitement in you when you watch others gambling or visit casino site to play.  But when you bet your money there, the excitement of winning and losing will work in you. So it will give you huge entertainment. But if you use gambling as a source of income then you will not get the real fun out of it. But if you use gambling as a place of entertainment. Then you will get full fun from here

As a gambler you would really see the difference when watching sports with or without bet. Honestly, I do feel the pressure too because when watching the game, it's not all the time that your team is leading, most of the games especially basketball is a game of run therefore there will be change of leads on scores which could bring some kind of pressuring feeling, so I think we just have to get use to it, and be always smart in not getting out of control when gambling.

If we can't enjoy watching with bets, there's no point of watching, just turn off the TV and come back later after the game.

Because we want to win, even though we treat gambling as a getaway and just want to have fun, we subconsciously want to win a game because it is money that we are going to win, if we want to feel good in gambling we can shake it off and easily move on but if we have winning money in our mind it will take some time to move on.
Gambling is played with emotion and hope, so it's just right that we feel disappointed when losing and excited when losing, it's an emotional roller coaster that is why gambling is addictive because we can feel all the emotions and we feel alive gambling.

You wont really be having those kind of feelings or emotions if you wont really be making out some bets without money and this is something that wont really be that interesting for those people who are really that into betting because having no money involved wont really be considered out to be betting since you arent really that making use of money and there's no risks involved
and theres no fun with that. The main reason on why people do really make out bets is on that they do really love the thrill when making up some bets and this is something
that you would really be able to notice it out when money is really that involved.

True, especially if they bet on their favorite team then obviously it will be very fun and more adrenaline, I think for this problem it comes back to everyone's choice about whether they will watch while betting or not, but on the other hand it is better in my opinion like the way you do, because gambling is nothing more than entertainment then if you can already get entertainment from your favorite team's match that you watch why do you still put a bet at the same time? like I said above that it's a choice and also depends a bit on one's point of view on gambling, if indeed they see gambling as a place to earn then obviously I think they won't miss to put money on a match like this.

What you said is quite reasonable my friend, your action is very good by choosing to just watch and not accompanied by betting, because if your favorite team loses then obviously there will be two regrets that you experience at the same time, which is disappointed because the team loses and the second is losing betting money, that's clear, it seems like this is worth making an example and understanding.

Good topic for discussion.When i place a bet, for example, on a sports bet, we are more concentrated on the game and more involved in the process because we assume that we can get a profit from the game,which brings much more pleasure from watching.If there is no bet, then this is the most ordinary viewing of the game when you don’t have to pay close attention.In the event of a loss, everyone treats it differently; in fact, I don’t feel angry if my bet didn’t work it’s just entertainment for me.

Actually, at the beginning of watching the match, we get pleasure and very exciting feeling in watching it and at the same time waiting for the results of the match to determine whether the bet placed wins or loses.
So you may be stressed or feel bad in your heart or mind if you just see defeat.
In the context of what you convey, I will state that gambler gets his own satisfaction and really great happiness when watching match that is also being bet on, the adrenaline will feel more challenging and dramatic.

In my personal opinion, losing is normal thing that happens and there is no need to really regret it, let alone causing us to experience stress, we must be able to accept the fact that what we bet on is lost.
But everything also depends on the financial aspect, where if we only bet on small bet, maybe we will feel normal if we lose and disappointed when we lose on big bet.
That why many people recommend that always bet within capabilities or use money appropriately so that when lose don't feel disappointed.

No big deal here, all depends on once mindset, and sometimes you find it fun watching when you didn't place any bet ,especially when a team you wanted to option for is losing the game, while in some situations when you have place your bet on a particular team and it happens that their performance in that game is bad or are losing the game, it puts your mind on pressure or emotions watching that particular match or in other hands, it is more fun watching the game when the match is actually going in your favour.

What could be the joy in there you watching yourself losing money through others (a match you bet on). You will definitely be feeling sad and disappointed at the game because the result are going 100 miles far away from what you had expected with your prediction.

The outcome of some matches at the beginning or in the middle  of the game can mess around with your emotions. You probably be watching a match you on a team you predicted in your bet to win the match , and in the first half your team are losing by a 2 goals to nothing. At that moment all you feel is disappointment and unrest watching how you're losing your money at that moment nothing sounds funny again. Then in the second half your team scored 3 goals to win the game by 3:2, immediately in that process your countenance changes with joy.

 So to avoid all that drama I don't watch matches I bet on, having a knowledge of when the game will end for me to check the final results is what I do to avoid having a BP  

Definitely with a bet. The game might be enjoyable the first few times without bets, but after that it just becomes incredibly repetitive and boring. With a bet though? It just enhances the feeling due to that dopamine rush or something that body releases when in tension something something. Plus, if you win, it makes the feeling a 1000x better, maybe more depending on the amount.

As for accommodating to the disappointment, well, it just naturally comes along the more you lose imo. Nothing we can do there but get used to it, if possible really. To not let said disappointment affect anything else should be a part of that accomodation though.

I like it more with bets. I don't have the energy to watch if I don't have any money that is on the line.

About the stressful loss, well, it's part of the game and I am thankful that with just one night of sleep, I can get over it. There's always another day, I always try to keep that in my mind to stay optimistic. Another option to relieve the stress is being happy with the other team who worked hard to win that game especially if they are a super underdog.
It's true that the feeling of loss is regretful and it could sometimes affect our mindset. But, we cannot remain thinking about that especially if there are more games that will come the next day. So, the solution would be, don't bet your whole capital. Try to budget it where you could win it all back in case of loss.

You feel sad after every loss, that's normal, you are not a human if you don't feel upset when you lose money. However, as a human also, we need to move on and go for the next bet. personally, I have more fun watching the game that I'm betting, I'm a big fan of live betting, so I'm having some fun, although you are right that it could be stressful sometimes, but we can defeat that stress by not betting a huge amount of money.

Small amount, less excitement, less stress.

Big amount, big excitement, big stress.

In the end , it's up to us to choose.

When you lose a bet, it does not actually feel good irrespective of how much risk management you applied. But if this pain lingers for two long and even lead to anger and depression, then there is a problem with the risk you took. If you are actually well balanced in terms of bankroll management, it will not even make much difference if you are watching the game or not. Although your mind will be anticipated outcome inline with your selection, if it goes the other way, you accept it in good faith. Personally, I do enjoy watching games I played and I'm always willing to accept the outcome.

The reason is that we are afraid to lose our money, we would like to make a risk in gambling but we are afraid to lose our money reason why other people get mad, angry, etc those negative emotions release because they cant handle it anymore, gambling is not just about fun because you are winning not as always this happens. If you want to play gambling make sure you know already that your funds deposited not as always win the game, if you already accepted this fact you can now free will with these negative emotions because you accepted the chance to win or not. If you just watch gambling fair enough to get entertained its up to you people already contented with this but some people are now because they want to take risk too and chance to win like others made.

For me, it is more fun when were are watching an event with a bet. It's more thrilling since we're curious if we're going to win or lose. The downside though is there are times when we lose our mood when losing a bet. I also don't understand sometimes why it happens to me especially when I am only betting an amount that I don't mind losing as well.

I think it was last month, I was supposed to buy groceries after a boxing and a UFC event. But I canceled it and just stayed at home drinking beers while watching movies because I lost 3 of my bets on those events.

It's difficult to admit that we don't feel sad about losing a game we staked money for a particular team to win. It feels better to gamble on a game and not watch the match than view it, as every single mistake by the team would result in our emotional emotions. Some gamblers don't hesitate to complain about the incompetence of the team when they are losing. Football is fun, but for a gambler, it's a big competition. Their team must win. Betting on teams we don't know isn't favorable either, but it feels safer. Watching games uncomfortably, derails the fun and relaxation we are meant to gain from the game. I'd still prefer watching without a bet. The viewers tend to enjoy both sides of the game. Happiness is derived in football, when the results regardless of the winning team, don't affect the emotions of the streamers or spectators. Aside from the passion for football, spectators cry about losing a match, especially during county games. Feeling sad over the money we staked in the game, isn't appropriate. We should watch games with a stable mind, as it's what matters. Gamblers already have jeopardized the idea of football, because of money. And such ideas speedily affect the mental health of people who don't enjoy a game because they are about to lose money. This can be related to the extreme joy the viewer feels when he is about to win more money. The happiness is enormous enough to diminish anxiety in the player's life. But to stay on a stable side of such a feeling will be watching matches for the joy of football. If the passion hits us, then we feel the solidarity for our team; club or country team.

 
Betting large amounts is very painful compared to the lesser amount, and the gambler would have to remain uncomfortable until the game is over; 1hr 30mins. Slots could be more painful but in a short while. During the Arsenal game with Aston Villa, we all wanted Arsenal to win. The mind didn't rest, not until the last whistle was blown. I felt a sigh of relief, despite Arsenal losing the game. Watching the game and losing, isn't ok, as the gambler expects a magical goal. The fun is instantly recovered once our team scores.

There is no correct or one answer to question in topic. There is a lot of "if". A lot depends on the sport, team, player, gambler, mood, even the weather matters. Each game is different. Personally, when I watch for fun, I am more likely to make a small bet. I dont care much about the money, but I find it always nice to get any kind of reward in the end, whether it is a candy or a lot of money. When I watch sports and cheer for specific team or a player, I prefer not to bet, as I am concentrated on the game and worry about the result. In this case I dont need another stressor.

If they want to make money from gambling and want to always win from every bet they clearly won't be able to, even a professional has experienced losing when betting and seeing losing bets but they are not completely disappointed, what is the reason people feel disappointed when their bets lose if not because failing to get the winning money isn't it, that's what makes people feel disappointed because they don't get what they want to get.

Gambling always has risks and you won't always win. There are always losses and losses. We have to understand that we can lose money at any time when gambling, whether it's sports betting or playing casino. If we understand that, we will no longer feel disappointed, just think of it as gambling. To have fun, whether you bet or not, don't expect to get money but just enjoy the games displayed in each match. If you enjoy it then there will be excitement in it

I guess this depends on your preference. But as for me, it isn't counted as gambling if there's no money at stake. It will be much challenging and nerve-wracking when you are watching your own bet progress into something. It's exciting and at the same time you will feel some tense due to fund at stake when you mess up, but that's what makes it more fun and thrilling to some. Meanwhile, if you didn't place a bet like an actual money and just see how things will progress, it could lessen the burden on your heart because you have nothing to worry about, since you can't really lose if you didn't bet. So it's really depends on you which you enjoy more.

Personally, I'm entertained when I'm just watching someone else's bet rather staking on my own. There's a rush of excitement that comes from rooting for them and their bets to win. And I find it comforting that I get to support their bets that I like too without losing money.

 For me, you kinda feel the thrill, excitement, and fun when you bet while watching because when you win your money can be doubled and it's very overwhelming to feel and want to bet more. But sad to say that nothing is permanent you win and you lose and then start to feel like you have to win your money back.


I believe that when it comes to gambling our fate relies on luck and if luck was not on your side, accept the fact that you lose, and when we lose we get stressed but then decided to bet again.  The reality is that gambling is very addicting, that when you started it there is no way to get out or there is no turning back.

Maybe others may prefer watching the games without any bet especially in sports as they can simply focus and at the same time enjoy watching the sports without overthinking with their money or any pressure and distraction.
Their only goal is to watch the game not to bet with the game.
